Italian Cheese and Broccoli Bake

By adventurefamily5

Classic casserole taste with the convenience of a rice cooker.

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
• 3 slices bacon, uncooked
• 1/2 pound fresh broccoli florets, broken into small pieces
• 2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• dash of hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Close the lid and press the Steam/Cook button to preheat the Aroma® rice cooker for approximately 10 minutes. Open the lid, using caution to avoid steam burns. Sauté the onion and bacon in the inner pot, using a long-handled plastic spoon, until the bacon is brown and crisp. Remove the bacon and onion and set aside. Allow the inner pot to cool and clean with a paper towel.

Return the pot to the rice cooker. Place the bacon, onion, and broccoli in the inner pot. Sprinkle the cheese over the bacon and vegetables. In a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, chicken broth, black pepper, dry mustard, and hot pepper sauce until thoroughly mixed. Pour the egg mixture over all, close the lid and cook until the eggs are set, about 30-40 minutes. Serve while warm.
